to Study Second Public Draft of NGSS

The second public draft of NGSS is available in two different arrangements—by topics that the writers used when writing the performance expectations or by disciplinary core ideas from the NRC's Framework for K–12 Science Education. The same coding system is used in both versions and is according to the disciplinary core ideas.

While PDFs of the standards are useful for printing, the standards are best viewed online because the website allows the reader to access tools to search the document and customize the view.
